[PATCHv7 02/11] gitweb: introduce remote_heads feature

From

With this feature enabled, remote heads are retrieved (and displayed) when getting (and displaying) the heads list. Typical usage would be for local repository browsing, e.g. by using git-instaweb (or even a more permanent gitweb setup), to check the repository status and the relation between tracking branches and the originating remotes.
